Would you have the b*lls to do this?
The following clip has been doing the rounds on the internet over the past 48-hours and it features 22 personnel from the Dutch military who agreed to stand in front of a tank as it performed a high speed brake test.
We can only assume that 21 men and one woman involved in the stunt had absolutely no say in the matter. Especially the two lads on the left of the line up who look like they’re ready to bolt…
The tank in question is a Leopard 2, designed by the German defence company Krauss-Maffei in the early ’70s for the West German Army, and it can reach speeds of 75km/h, even though it weighs 62 tonnes…
We’re not sure when exactly the brake test was carried out, but we’re just glad no one was killed. In fairness, it’s a pretty ridiculous stunt and while we doubt you have a tank lying around in the shed, we’ll leave you with this: DON’T try this at home.
